Cisco ASA bonding/teaming/port-channel capabilities

  • 772

This seemed to me like a really simple question that I would be able to answer by myself but I have not been able to find any info on this subject.

I have a Cisco ASA 5510 which has 4 FastEthernet interfaces. I was wondering if it would be possible to use 2 or 3 of these interfaces as a port-channel in order to agregate bandwidth for multiple VLANs.

I have found no info on the Cisco website nor on Google. Is this just a stupid/crazy idea or am I missing something ?

Thank you in advance for your help,

Antoine

Edit : I checked the Cisco ASA command reference guide and there is no port-channel command...

    I don't know the 5510 but from a spot of searching around I'd say it doesn't support port channels - which is surprising to be honest.

  2. You can make two of those ports into proper GigE if you buy the Security Plus license ($800):

    Keep in mind that 5510 can only do 300Mbps of filtering and 170Mbps of VPN.
